Okay, the BF4 standard controls are garbage for flying, so I went to bind them in the BF3 setup. But for some reason, while in the cockpit, left trigger will NOT stop activating free look for me. I’ve taken the button off of every mapping except decelerate yet it still tries to get me to look around. Which makes dogfighting or good flying impossible since I can’t pitch/roll while braking. Is anyone else having this issue or does anyone know a fix? (I’ve tried asking a few times in-game but every time I just get incredulous remarks about using a 360 controller on PC. I guess I should be flying with a mouse/keyboard or a flightstick like all the other elitists) ---

The vehicles in BF4 handle better with a controller then mouse and keyboard. ---

SAME THING WITH ME. My stupid PS3 controller did the same thing when I mapped it for Helo flying. I would tip back to pull up and then to level it off would do freelook. It worked perfectly in the Beta (ironic, I know). The only thing I would say to try (which I am going to) is deselect EVERYTHING from joystick and then go back in and remap just the stuff you want for flight controls. ---

Let me know how that goes. ---

Exact same problem with me. I just cleared the free look buttons for all controls, including spectator and that fixed it. I can’t free look with the controller but I don’t really mind that. ---

It’s a problem. I’ve been struggling with it since launch, and I haven’t really found a real way to fix it. I’ve removed the free look binding, so flying choppers is fixed, but when I remove the free look bindings on jet, I can’t turn the jet at ALL while in the cockpit. So, I’m just dealing with it for now. But it definitely needs fixed. ---

I was told to download the BF3/BF4 editor (controller editor?) or something and that’ll fix it. I’ll do that in a bit and see how it goes. ---

It doesn’t. I imported my old controls several times to no avail. ---

Fix everything in BF4 except for the problematic button(s), then fix that in the editor?
